ABSTRACT:
An optical architecture is provided that can be used for generating high-speed input test vectors from low speed digital data and transferrring those test vectors to a device under test. The optical architecture employs gain-switched laser diodes or optical mixers to produce high-speed optical pulses from the low speed digital data. Optical multiplexing and variable delay devices process the high speed optical pulses to form a high-speed test vector. The architecture can generate test data with psec-type accuracy.
